How To Group Facetime on iPhone

All devices capable of running iOS 12.1 have some sort of access to group Facetime, albeit for older devices this is audio only. Newer devices such as the iPhone X and iPhone XS also have the ability to use Memoji and stickers that track the object they are stuck to, similar to Snapchat or Instagram.
